You are in the right place if you wish to know how to spot the fake vs real AF1 Vlone sneakers.

In fact, we are here today to teach you how to spot fake AF1 Vlone sneakers in fourteen simple steps with our ultimate guide.

Now that you’ve got the main idea of what we are about to talk about today, let’s get to the 5 steps on how to spot fake AF1 Vlone shoes.

How to spot fake Air Force 1 Vlone

The quickest way to spot fake Air Force 1 Vlone sneakers is to check the tongue tag of the sneakers. The authentic shoes were never released having the Vlone logo on the tongue, but they’ve always had the Nike AIR logo.

Most of the time, the counterfeit Air Force 1 Vlone manufacturers mistake a few details on the rear side of the sneakers due to the inferior quality of the materials they use, compared to the materials of the legit Air Force 1 Vlone.

Step 1: Real vs fake Air Force 1 Vlone tongue tag

As we said previously, we consider the tongue tag to be the most reliable sign of a fake Air Force 1 Vlone pair, and that’s why we are going to inspect the real vs fake Air Force 1 Vlone pairs for the tongue tag first.

The counterfeit Air Force 1 Vlone sneakers are most common to have the Vlone logo on the tongue, while the authentic Vlone AF1s were never released with the Vlone logo.

The legit Air Force 1 Vlone sneakers will always have their tongue tag’s logo with the Nike AIR printed logo, unlike the replicas with the Vlone logo.

Step 2: Check the Nike Swoosh logo on your Air Force 1 Vlone

As for the second step of the guide on how to spot fake Air Force 1 Vlone pairs, we are going to look at the Nike Swoosh logo on the side of the real vs fake Air Force 1 Vlones.

In the fake vs real Air Force 1 Vlone image above, we have pointed out how the fake Air Force 1 Vlone shoes have their Nike Swoosh logo looking way too curvy compared to the authentic Air Force 1’s Swoosh.

On the other hand, the legit Swoosh is looking strictly curved in the areas in which it is supposed to be, and it isn’t as rounded as the fake one.

The steps we’ve written so far are the best ways to authenticate this item.

The next few steps are still reliable signs of authenticity but are for non-top-versions of replicas available for this item. We recommend sticking to the steps we’ve explained above to make sure you’re not drawing the wrong conclusions.

Step 3: Fake vs real Air Force 1 Vlone heel bump

For the third step of the guide on how to spot fake Air Force 1 Vlone sneakers, we will look at the shape of the shoes on the heel.

In the fake vs real Air Force 1 Vlone image above, we have pointed out how the fake Air Force 1 Vlone shoes have their overall shape looking too curvy compared to the authentic shoes’ shape.

We drew a green line to point out the shape of the authentic Air Force 1 Vlone, and a red line for the fake shoes’ shape.

As you can see in the fake vs real Air Force 1 Vlone image above, the red line is way curvier compared to the green line on the legit Air Force 1 Vlone sneakers, which means that the fake sneakers have a curvier heel bump.
